International Commission of Inquiry into the case of the Cuban Five

7-8 March 2020, The Law Society, London

The two day Commission of Inquiry will convene a group of internationally renowned commissioners drawn from legal, human rights, political and academic backgrounds and organizations. The Commissioners will hear first hand evidence from a number of key witnesses on:

their personal experiences of terrorism against Cuba
the role of US based organizations in these terrorist acts
the legal right of nations to defend themselves against terrorist actions
the arrest, trial, ensuing legal case
the sentencing of the Five
family visitation rights and conditions of detention

Other witnesses will provide factual information on the actions undertaken by the Five, including evidence about the legality of this action under US and international law. A full range of legal opinions from respected international organizations will be sought.

The findings from the Commission will be presented to the US authorities and directly to President Barack Obama.

It is a public event and will run concurrently with a full program of rallies, exhibitions, screenings, media and cultural events, including a gala concert, panel discussions and VIP receptions.

The event will bring together members of Voices for the Five, an international coalition of campaigners for the Cuban Five in order to reach out to the widest audience possible and increase international support and awareness for the cause of justice for the Five.
